Birmingham Local Plan - Preferred Options Consultation

Overview

The Birmingham Local Plan will shape how the whole of the city area will develop up to 2042. It will help to provide certainty on future planning decisions for communities, businesses and the development industry and guide planning decisions on all development and regeneration activity. Once adopted it will replace the Birmingham Development Plan (2017). 

The Preferred Options document is the first draft of the Local Plan and an opportunity to see the draft planning policies which will shape the City over the next 20 years, and to see strategies for 27 Growth Zones proposed across the City.  

Please note that this consultation has been extended by one working week to close on midnight on Tuesday 27 August 2024.

Why your views matter

The Council is therefore inviting you to share your views and comments as part of a formal public consultation. Your comments will be carefully considered and used, along with evidence, to inform and refine the Local Plan prior to its adoption. The consultation will close at midnight on Monday 19th August 2024.  

What happens next

Comments and responses to the consultation will help shape the final version of the Birmingham Local Plan which will be published early in 2025 and subject to further consultation.
